I am not a people person what so ever.

I keep telling myself that “Ohh when you get to college you’ll meet people just like you and might find someone who actually likes you!”
Even the adults in my community look at me like a lunatic even though I’m doing nothing out of the ordinary. Other teenagers don’t come within ten feet of my house unless my shorter, daintier and prettier friend is hanging out with me. She only stays around because she looks ten times better next to my ‘too-beefy-to-be-feminine-figure’
I’m a complete inconvenience to my father who just got married and my mom is a pre menopausal nut case. I am almost valedictorian of my class, save for one trust fund baby who went to private school for half his life. In a class of seven you are the top ten percent is placed as valedictorian, salutatorian is nothing. If I can’t even get out of this white trash dump through education there’s nothing left but to waste away here. Art conservation is the only thing that would bring meaning to what might be my life, but I may as well kiss that good bye.
I want to just curl into a ball, give up and die. No responsibility, no stupid unnecessary human complications, no more feeling like a stupid, repulsive waste of hydrocarbon structures. Just peace and quiet. All the sunrises I could ever want would be dreamt in my eternal dream with an E-flat concerto playing forever and ever.

I am not a people-person myself…and yet for some reason I want to go to a large university.
You can be one of the crowd at a place like that. And with so many different clubs, there is much less commitment, so if you don’t take a liking to the people in one club, you can easily leave and go to the next.
But try making friends early, like in the orientation. Introduce yourself on the college’s Facebook groups. Even if you’re not at that point right now, keep it in mind for the future.
What is it about you that makes people avoid you? Do you smile at people or avert your eyes from them? Do you keep up with your hygeine or not? Ask yourself questions such as those to get a good look of yourself from an objective standpoint. Then maybe it will be easier for you to make yourself approachable to other people. Be yourself, but in a way that is socially acceptable. :) Best of luck. I still need to do this myself…

some more questions to ask yourself would be am i arrogant. i was very arrogant for a long time then i came off my high horse and joined the rest of the world. This was a major set back in my life because i wouldn’t ask questions in class or around my family or around my so called friends. turns out now that they were just using me. try telling some stories of your past n try to get to know others. good luck

Things don’t change overnight but you do need to stop thinking less of yourself. Just cuz you don’t socialize doesn’t mean you’re a bad person! You are who you are and true friends accept you for who you are unless you’re a psycho. You just need a few good friends to get you out of your shell so you can enjoy a happy fulfilling social life. Growing up, I was the black sheep in the family and the quietest of them all and now as an adult, You can’t shut me up and I love people and the social life. Just pick your friends and you’ll be amazed how much acceptance you’ll get. Maybe you can have a social gathering to display your art and get people to see how talented of a person you are!
